Tag Archives: Levels Beyond

Exciting times at Jigsaw24 as we have taken on the mantle of sales and appliance integration for one of the world’s leading MAM platforms, Reach Engine by Levels Beyond.

Having worked with Levels for a number of years, supporting their customers with infrastructure and systems as well as working with the development teams in the UK at 10dot1 and Timeline TV, it feels like a natural progression for us to help expand their customer base in the UK.

We feel that their technology platform is one of, if not the, best systems for orchestrating digital media workflows and managing the vast quantities of assets we now have to deal with. Their existing client base speaks for itself, including as it does some of the leaders of the digital revolutions that have taken place in our industry and beyond.

Household names such as Formula 1, Red Bull Media, Manchester United, Disney ABC and Warner Bros. utilise the platform in many different ways to enhance and improve their creative workflows. We cant wait to introduce more people to this platform and continue to revolutionise the digital landscape with future-thinking orchestration, cloud integration and custom application development.

OK, IBC fans, here’s where we’ll be rounding up all the announcements from the media sector’s annual Amsterdam blowout. Expect new releases, upgrades announcements, official previews of products that were teased at NAB, and (event WiFi permitting) exclusive on-the-floor content from our team.
